Understanding CTC and Its Components
CTC is not a statutory concept, so there is wide variation in what is included and what is excluded; it varies from company to company. CTC stands for Cost To the Company, so anything for which the company incurs expenses is included. It includes both statutory and voluntary benefits provided to employees by the company.

There is no hard and fast rule on what can or cannot be included in CTC. As the term states, any cost incurred by an employer for their employee may be included in CTC. Some organizations even include non-monetary benefits in CTC, but most organizations include monetary items like salary, allowances, PF, gratuity, bonus, incentives, etc.
Thank you.

Understanding Earned Leave and CTC
From my understanding, you are discussing Earned Leave. It cannot be added to CTC because the concept of this leave is to first earn and then avail it. This means that an employee must work 240 days in the succeeding year to be eligible, according to the working days in the next year. So, how can any company decide on CTC?

I agree that earned leaves are not part of CTC; it's a benefit that you earn while working a certain number of days. CTC is not a statutory concept; it is designed by the organization to include costs, which can vary from one organization to another.

Paid Leave as Part of CTC
The original post questions whether paid leave should be part of CTC. Now, what is paid leave? It may include PL/AL/EL, CL, SL/ML. There is a concept of leave encashment in many organizations, and usually, at the time of leaving the organization, employees are paid for leave due to the credit of the employee, which is generally PL/AL/EL.
Therefore, leave in the nature of PL/AL/EL is paid to employees. CTC has no legal sanction and no specific definition; rather, it is organization-specific. In my opinion, anything spent for an employee is part of CTC.
Therefore, paid leave should be part of CTC.
